I shall miss out some good deals, I suppose. Ice storm hit late Sunday and our power is out. Maybe until Dec 18. About 200, 000 in Tulsa are the same boat. Trees down everywhere! Borrowing a generator and can't say online. So bye and Merry Christmas to the nice peeps on Dvd Talk. ^^

At any rate the tin itself is very nice and I'm quite impressed by this set.
Well, i'm up in Dracut, MA and I haven't seen anything yet... Keeping my fingers crossed!

Keep checking tracking to see if they shipped it out. It took Buy.com about a week from when they said they actually shipped it until it hit the USPS. Then it took over a week until it actually made it out of the first USPS hub. Remember I was first person to post of this deal well over 2 weeks ago.

This clue is kind of vague. It really could be anything.

Burst Angel? Gunslinger girl? Trigun? Gun X Sword? There are so many anime with guns, this one is hard to predict.

Actually, I thought "Nine exploding presents" was more vague. I don't think the clue came out early to start the guessing right? What does that have to do with Tylor?

Rich didn't give the clue for Day 9, so there weren't any guesses on that. But you're right, "Nine exploding presents" is more vague than "Ten guns a-balzing."

I already own Gun X Sword. It's one of my favorite Geneon series that I have seen this year. If it's indeed a Gun X Sword bundle, I'm sure this will make some people quite happy.

...it could be Black Lagoon as well.

Rich has given another clue:
Perhaps my guardian angel wasn't looking over me... (nudge)

It should be Burst Angel. If it's the complete collection and the price is right, I may have the first purchase of this sale.

We can mark off Gunslinger Girl because they're out of stock (volume 2 and 3) for a while - I've been waiting for it.

I am guessing it is going to be the box set this time. I hope they do better than the $45 Amazon is doing. I would love to see it come in under $36. On the other hand, keeping with their theme of singles, it could be Vol. 1-6 - Viridian Collection. But I doubt it, since Vol. 4-6 are not currently in stock.

It looks like I will be purchasing this one. $39.99 is pretty decent price.

My FYE had quite the array of deals going on. They were doing a B2G1F, B2G$10GC, 50% off Funimation and 50% off Geneon.

YMMV on being able to get the B2G1F & Gift card at the same time. I'm waiting til the 'anime girl' is working, then ill try my luck.

I need to contact my FYE for these deals.

I was at my FYE maybe about a week ago, and said they didn't have any deals going on anime. I hope it's universal for all FYE and not simply YMMV. I need to pick up some Geneon (and possibly Funimation) titles.

Thanks for the hope.

Did anyone noticed that all hints came with numerical order? Is it like that last year?

Maybe Twelve Kingdom would be part of special deal at end of 12-day of Christmas?
